Starting on the centerboard


I now have the bronze screws needed, but I couldn't epoxy and screw down the bottom panel today because of rain.


Once the bottom is on, the next step will be to cut the slot for the centerboard. I will make the board by laminating two sheets of 12mm plywood. but it will also be fiberglassed, so I don't really know how thick it will be, and how wide the slot in the bottom should be. So I spent the afternoon drawing the centerboard trunk and centerboard full scale, and making a pattern for the centerboard. If weather permits tomorrow, I'll attach the bottom and cut out the centerboard.
